Non-whites and Jews make things worse and exploit the existing disease of the West, but that's what it is: pre-existing, they wouldn't have been able to take over if it wasn't already there. The main cause of our civilization's decline is technological progress and life being too comfortable. This was Ted Kaczynski's main thesis. The question of how to balance technological progress with the survival of a civilization in a healthy way that keeps it in touch with its natural roots (which is essential) hasn't been answered yet.

Eh not really. His idea is that technological society is just incompatible with any kind of humanity and must be destroyed.

Yeah I meant "the main cause of our civilization's decline is technological progress and life being comfortable" part, should have worded it better.
